Selenium hexafluoride (7783-79-1) |
| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Selenium hexafluoride is a nonflammable, colorless gas. Repulsive odor. | [Uses]
Gaseous electric insulator. | [General Description]
SELENIUM HEXAFLUORIDE is a colorless gas used as a electrical insulator. SELENIUM HEXAFLUORIDE is highly toxic by inhalation. When heated to high temperatures SELENIUM HEXAFLUORIDE may decompose to emit toxic fluoride and selenium fumes. Prolonged exposure of the container to fire or intense heat may cause SELENIUM HEXAFLUORIDE to violently rupture or rocket. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
SELENIUM HEXAFLUORIDE is a colorless, poison gas, when heated to decomposition SELENIUM HEXAFLUORIDE emits very toxic fumes containing metallic selenium and selenium fluorides [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 1131]. | [Health Hazard]
TOXIC; may be fatal if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin. Vapors are extremely irritating and corrosive. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. | [Fire Hazard]
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Some of these materials may react violently with water. Cylinders exposed to fire may vent and release toxic and/or corrosive gas through pressure relief devices. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. | [Potential Exposure]
Selenium hexafluoride, a gas, is utilized as a gaseous electric insulator. | [Shipping]
Selenium hexafluoride, Hazard Class: 2.3; Labels: 2.3-Poisonous gas, 8-Corrosive material Inhalation, Hazard Zone A. Cylinders must be transported in a secure upright position, in a well-ventilated truck. Protect cylinder and labels from physical damage. The owner of the compressed gas cylinder is the only entity allowed by federal law (49CFR) to transport and refill them. It is a violation of transportation regulations to refill compressed gas cylinders without the express written permission of the owner. | [Incompatibilities]
Hydrolyzes very slowly in cold water. Decomposes on heating, producing hydrogen fluoride, fluoride, and selenium. Contact with metal or acid will produce toxic gaseous hydrogen selenide. | [Waste Disposal]
Return refillable compressed gas cylinders to supplier. If possible, convert selenium compounds to an insoluble form with SO2 before landfill or solidification. | [Physical properties]
Colorless gas; refractive index 1.895; density 3.25 g/L at -28°C; liquefies at -34.5°C; freezes at -50.8°C; sublimes at -63.8°C; insoluble in water. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Selenium hexafluoride is a selenium coordination entity. | [Preparation]
Selenium hexafluoride is prepared by passing fluorine gas over finely divided selenium in a copper vessel:
Se + 3F2 → SeF6. |
